Nature is an interdependent, dynamic and living system – just like today’s organizations and communities. Kathleen Allen uses nature as a model, mentor, and muse to rethink how leadership is practiced today.

    At age nineteen, Shannon Huffman Polson became the youngest woman ever to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. She went on to reach the summits of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Kilimanjaro and spent more than a decade traveling the world. Yet it was during her experience serving as one of the Army's first female attack helicopter pilots, and eventually leading an Apache flight platoon on deployment to Bosnia-Herzegovina, that she learned the lessons of leadership that forever changed her life.Where did these insights come from? From her own crucibles of experience—and from other women. In writing The Grit Factor, Polson made it her mission to connect with an elite pack of tough, impressive female iconoclasts who shared with her their candid stories of combat and career. This slate of decorated leaders includes Heather Penney, one of the first female F-16 pilots, who was put on a suicide mission for 9/11; General Ann Dunwoody, the first female four-star general in the Army; Amy McGrath, the first female Marine to fly the F/A-18 in combat—and dozens of other unstoppable women who got there first, including Polson herself.With its gripping narrative and relatable takeaways, The Grit Factor is both inspiring and pragmatic, a book that will energize and enlighten current and aspiring leaders everywhere—whether male or female.

    So if you're a product vendor, then you probably already know why you need bonuses. Bonuses are an excellent way to increase the perceived value of your product or offer. They also significantly increase your conversion rate. Many of your buyers, no matter how good your product is, are sitting on the fence waiting for one last nudge towards becoming a customer. Bonuses can often be this difference between a buyer. 
    Then there are also those people who absolutely love the bonuses for the bonuses sake and will actually judge your product or your offer based on the number of bonuses. So making sure you have a good amount of attractive bonuses can go a long way towards maximizing your sales. Finally, there's another much less talked about advantage of bonuses. They act as an excellent form of collateral that you can offer in your guarantee statement.  
    Very few sellers do this, but it's incredibly effective and Maximizes the amount of trust you can gain with potential buyers. Basically, what you do is you offer your standard guarantee, such as a 30 day money back guarantee, but then you state that you're going to go above and beyond an reverse. The risk in this second part of your guarantee you're going to promise that the buyers ipon requesting a refund.  
    Will even get to keep the bonuses, which both makes the buyer feel like they're taking less risk, but also reinforces their faith that you're certain your product can do what it says. Otherwise, why would you be taking so much risk on your own shoulders if you've appraised the dollar amount of these bonuses at, for example, $500, then you can pitch it as a 100% money back plus $500 value back guarantee.
